This shot was taken, as they say, "as a bonus," shortly before dawn in the second half of August. The shooting location was Altai, a gray zone. AZ-GTi(EQ) without guiding, polar alignment was done by compass, so exposures were 30 seconds each.

Thank you! I might argue about the "carefulness" part—there's a lot I don't like, but it can be fixed either with deep Photoshop work or by accumulating more signal. So I'll keep collecting photons—there's plenty of room to grow!)))

I think it turned out really well—few stars, lots of dust, super!

Cool shot! Why is the gain 0?

Probably because I forgot to specify the ISO.
